They say you can only empathize with someone when you have experienced it yourself; or only when you are in their shoe. This is true in my case. I had never even cared about the rotten system of LRT and MRT train administrations until my own Mother became a person-with-disability because of an accident. When Mommy became a PWD, that's the first time I had been fully aware of the crappy system that the Philippines have for someone like her. I realized the country did not have much heart for PWD's. Imagine the trains, both LRT and MRTs had elevators but had become "permanently out of order". Luckily for MRT, some stations do have functioning escalators, but not at all times. Most of the time, it's the same with LRT, especially the LRT Line1.

I wanted to see a dermatologist for the longest time to consult the redness, flaky dryness + itchy spots on my face. Being naturally low maintenance and living on a very simple basic beauty routine, I'm not really someone whom you could consider as vain. But I know I should do something about it because it's becoming really uncomfortable. I think it's high time that I see and visit an actual medical dermatologist and not to simply rely on facial services and treatments at facial skin clinics. Through my friends' recommendations and after seeing the changes on their skin, I went to see renowned London-trained dermatologist and skin expert, Dr. Kaycee Cuevas Reyes of Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovations Clinic at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.

We all aspire to be healthy and happy. People often say that health is wealth, indeed it is true. We can all be healthy if we have the determination, perseverance and discipline when it comes to choosing the healthier foods. After its successful launch in Metro Manila, the National Nutrition Council(NNC) pushes its "10 Kumainments”campaign to all 17 regions of the country, through the local government units (LGUs) as its drivers.

The campaign, which provides “the recommended guide” for Filipinos to obtain a healthy dietby following simple guidelines,has been translated into local dialects, including Cebuano and Ivatan. The NNC-ARMM(Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) has even made a transliteration of the nutritional guidelines in Arabic and called it the Nutritional Guidelines for Muslim Filipinos, which cites teachings in the Qur’an, showing support for each of the guidelines.

It is every Filipino child's dream to visit the Disneyland so they'll have the chance to meet and greet their favorite Disney characters like Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Goofy and the Disney Princesses. Before, one must be well-off enough in order to fulfill this simple dream because you need to travel abroad to make this dream a reality since there's no Disneyland in the Philippines. Luckily, the late philantropist, J. Amado Araneta had envisioned building a huge arena in which sports, entertainment and other public events are to be held. J. Amado Araneta once dreamed about bringing world-class shows and performances in the country so that more Filipinos would have access to it, including the less fortunate. Thus, the Smart Araneta Coliseum (formerly known as Araneta Coliseum) or also popularly known as The Big Dome was built.

Did you know that the late President of the First Philippine Republic, General Emilio Aguinaldo had his own bowling lanes and 10-feet swimming pool at his home? Yes, siree. You're reading it right. These are some of the learnings I've had when I've recently toured the renowned Aguinaldo Shrine. As a child, I have always wanted to go to the historical Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit Cavite where the very first Philippine Flag was raised and Philippine National Anthem was sang, but I never had the chance to do so because I wasn't allowed to join field trips then. So when I was given the opportunity to visit the Aguinaldo Shrine during the holidays as I covered Pamaskong Aguinaldo 2014 Year-End countdown, I decided to grab the opportunity.
